Before take-off: waiting for India's globalization at the Sahar International Airport in 1974
Résumé
In this piece, Yves-Marie Rault-Chodankar reflects on the evolution of Mumbai's Sahar International Airport, as depicted in a postcard from the early 1970s. The airport, originally a modest colonial-era structure, served a limited number of passengers and destinations. However, with India's economic growth and liberalization, the airport underwent expansions and privatization, transforming into the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Now a bustling global hub, it showcases a blend of traditional and modern architecture, reflecting India's aspirations for progress and connectivity. The postcard encapsulates the airport's journey from a sleepy entrance to an emblem of India's thriving aviation industry.
